Waiting a bit will probably be enough to get it confirmed.
Can you post the txid?

Transactions down to 3 sats/vbyte are currently being processed. The entire mempool is only around 3 vMB, so a couple of lucky block times and you'll be included within the next 20-30 minutes. Even with unlucky block times you should still be confirmed at 1 sat/vbyte within the next few hours.

It will be faster and cheaper for you to perform an RBF if your transaction is opted in, or a CPFP if you have a change output, than it will be to find a miner willing to mine your transaction and make another transaction paying them an additional fee. Can you post the transaction ID as Loyce has asked? If not, look the transaction up here - https://mempool.space/ - and tell us if has a green "RBF" tag beside features, or if it has any outputs back to an address you own.

As far as I can see the last two blocks 699367 & 699368 emptied the mempool.
If your transaction has still not confirmed as Loyce said post the txid and people can take a look as to what the issue, if any, is.
